The path to rescuing the next 500 kids

In Mexico alone, there are an estimated 100,000 children at risk, teetering on the edge of, or tumbling through, the jagged cracks of a broken system of social work and despair. Together, our ability to intervene and offer hope is on the rise as we expand our capacity to be part of the solution. So, how are we putting to use the experience we’ve gained over the past 25 years and the 500 children we’ve given refuge? What are the keys to the next 500? The next 5,000?

Sponsors

We continue to thank God for His provision for the children through people of all walks of life, through the Gift of Hope Child Sponsorship program. The faithful giving, encouragement, and diligent prayers of sponsors give stability to the LHI microeconomy—meeting needs and opening the doors to additional children in need.

Supervisors

The discernment needed to cultivate new dorm supervisors is one of the most demanding responsibilities of our leadership. This next generation of sacrificial servant-leaders is the key to greater reach and our ability to receive the next precious child. As these young prospective supervisors mature, demonstrate reliability, and reflect Godly character, it is then we can begin to entrust them with the critical responsibility of parenting the children as dormitory supervisors, guiding them along a path of hope.

Space

La Viña Ministry Institute and its intern program, paired with a growing stream of visitors excited to serve, has us bursting at the seams, resulting in meeting space and housing reminiscent of our early days in crowded rooms of rented houses, before the campus of today. Because nearly every new supervisor comes to EV through La Viña, we want to be certain we can accommodate the need. Multi-purpose spaces continue to be converted to sleeping quarters to accommodate kids, staff, and visitors alike. We are experiencing a new wave of growth and new milestones in all areas, prompting us to begin the next phase of building for greater things to come at the Community of Hope campus in Puebla. As we head into our 25th year, pray for clear vision, focused where God is honored and He will produce fruit of many kinds.
